journal

As it’s very nearly six months through the year I decided it was time to refresh myself on the intentions and aspirations I had set for 2018. It feels so long ago that I wrote out these goals in my bullet journal. Did you set some goals for the new year? Do you look at…

Taking the time to document my life in my journal is one of the activities that brings me the most joy. I write a few lines in my journal every evening. This involves either recording events of the day, or working through my thoughts and feelings. I find it very relaxing…

What better time than over half-way through May to show you my bullet journal setup for this month!? Well, hopefully, better late than never, here it is. First off, I can’t help but mention my new cover…I’m in love. It is an Art Deco Green Navigator cover from Start Bay Notebooks. That pattern is just…

I have been using the same monthly layout in my bullet journal for a long time. It works for me. Perfectly. But … I think I’m looking for a change. I love to change things around every once in a while, just to keep me interested. My monthly spread for March can be found down…

When I first started my bullet journal nearly two years go, I hadn’t really done anything “creative” on paper since leaving school. I was so inspired by the beautiful bujo spreads I saw on Instagram and Pinterest that I was determined to have a go at something a little “arty”. Whilst I understand the aim…

I was recently lucky enough to be sent a copy of “The Daily Stoic Journal” by Profile Books. The book is written by bestselling authors Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. I must admit to previously knowing very little about Stoicism, but was intrigued by the strap-line “366 days of writing and reflection on the art…

I am so excited to be featuring a guest on my blog this month, especially one I admire as much as Cindy Tan from Stayinbed4ever (don’t you just love that Instagram name!). If you already follow Cindy on Instagram, then you will be familiar with her wonderful artwork and be used to laughing out loud…

Welcome to week 2 of the bullet journal planning challenge. I’ve really enjoyed seeing the pages produced so far, along with the feedback I have received on this challenge – thank you so much. The goals being set are utterly inspiring, moving and at times have made me quite emotional. I feel surrounded by people who want…

Before launching into the 6 week planning challenge (coming very soon!) I thought it would be a good idea to go through some different options for either getting your bullet journal started, or reviewing how you currently use it. I change my layouts a lot and will no doubt continue to do so, but that’s…
